Chapter 16 Girl Abductor vs Crusher, Round2

Translator: Mana

Apparently, there were flashy men in this world who insisted that going out together as a man and woman could only be a date.

If this definition was true then the actions that I was about to take would be a date, but in reality, this was no date.

Yes, because this was a battle between me and her

A few days after the meeting with Roslia, we decided to go out together. It was an invitation from Roslia.

The first time we made contact, I learned exactly how proficient her abilities were at making men fall for her. I wanted to avoid any more unexpected contact and decided to use this chance to end it all.

Today was the day I executed my plan to have Force see me being friendly with Roslia and create a scene of carnage.

I had the members of the Arrivers call Force out. My mission was simply to go to the meeting place at the time Force would arrive, while pretending to be on a date with Roslia.

I arrived at our meeting place outside of town while thinking these thoughts. A girl was standing alone in that empty place. Because that place was empty, the girls beauty stood out even further.

Ah, Note!If this is not Binbogami WordPress then it is stolen!

Dressed in a white one-piece instead of the priestess habit from last time, Roslia started running this way while waving. I was nearly KOd by the difference in her gentle yet completely different appearance and swaying chest.

Flustered, I was only able to casually raise my hand with a pathetic, H-Hey So lame

Roslia quickly approached and came to a stop at an extremely close distance, saying, Im expecting a lot from you today! before linking her arm with mine while smiling.

Impossible impossible impossible.

Not happening. It was impossible to endure this.

Youre too cute, Roslia.

The way she looked up at me, bringing her head close and pressing her chest to my arm, was all of the highest class. The full package of the ideals of all the men in this world.

This sense of distance with a man who questioned Is it really a date when a man and woman just go out together? What a deadly technique!

Anyone would think that After this, Im going to be dating this girl, right?!

Of course, Roslia wouldnt leave me alone as I struggled to calm the thumping in my heart

Whats wrong? Lets go already! Itll be a great date!

She turned her angelic smile this way.

That was the moment my advantage from the first round was flipped in an instant.

Let me start from the conclusion. It was fun. It was extremely fun.

I may have stated that this wasnt a date before I met Roslia today, but I take it back.

It was definitely a date.

After meeting up with Roslia, we headed for the tourist hotspot fountain in the northwest of the town as planned.

And then proceeded to do nothing but gaze at the beautiful scenery and Roslias profile the whole time.

Its so beautiful! she said to me.

I nearly responded with the cliche reply, Roslias more beautiful.

I made lunch!Roslia said as she took some colourful sandwiches out of the basket.

Unable to taste anything due to my nerves and happiness, I lied, Yeah, its delicious

Well then, shall we go back to the city?

Roslia held my hand as she walked next to me. The fingers of my right hand were linked with the fingers of her left, like the rumoured lovers link.

I told Roslia we were re

turning to town now to go shopping together. That was why this remark of hers that sounded like we were heading to the next part of the date made me extremely sad.

Because We were about to head to the place where Erin and the rest were waiting. We were about to end this extremely fun date.

At this time, I heard the whispers of the devil in my head.

Why dont you break your promise with Erin and Jin and Neme, and just continue your date like this?

That voice was my own.

Would it really matter if you just extended the plan until next time?

Desires distinctly chipped away at my mind.

Would the other members forgive me if I told them something unexpected happened?

And at my unresisting will. I had stopped resisting of my own will.

I squeezed Roslias hand. When she squeezed back, I asked her a question to confirm her feelings in order to follow my own desires and keep this happy time from ending.

Hey, Roslia. How do you feel about me? In comparison to other men like Force

We were walking down the single road towards the town.

That was my own choice. It was proof I had chosen to end this date and protect the members of the Arrivers.

It wasnt that Roslias answer to my question was bad. Actually, it was perfect. Yes, it was too perfect.

I have the most fun when Im with Note!

That overly perfect answer had made me realise that her attitude and the date until now was completely fabricated.

Because wasnt it so?

I hadnt shown her my cool or reliable side even once since we met.

A pathetic, nervous, cowardly man. That was me. It wasnt like I was particularly cool.

So there was not even the slightest reason for her to choose me over the many men she was involved with.

Even walking down an empty road like this is fun when yourewith someone else!

She swung our connected hands back and forth. Those words no longer reached my heart.

Yeah, Im also having so much fun! Who youre with really is more important than what youre doing, dont you think?

Emotionlessly, I let out a textbook response off the top of my head. Of course, I adjusted the tone of my voice appropriately, to make it believable.

Ten minutes or so later down the deserted road. I suddenly felt a sense of dread, for possibly making a fatal mistake.

Something was obviously wrong.

It wasnt regarding Roslia, but the presence of the five men that had been watching us, detected through my constantly activated Enemy Search.

The presences of the men were there from the beginning of the date. At first, it was only two people, but as they were the same men I felt in the pub with Roslia previously, I determined they were Roslias lackeys.

However, ever since we went to the fountain the number of men trailing us increased, and their hostility was magnified too. Right now, it felt like they were almost about to attack.

I considered the reasons why.

Firstly, it was possible that my plan was exposed somehow.

But I had no recollection of making any fatal mistake like that. It was difficult to consider that possibility.

The next reason I thought of was jealousy.

I could accept their reasons for harming me if it was because of the favour that Roslia showed me. But that wouldnt be a very smart thing to do in front of Roslia, since it would lower her impression of them. I wasnt quite convinced myself, but these were the only reasons I could think, so they were the most promising candidates.

While I was being alert, one man made his move. The rest of the men followed him and moved to surround us.

Upon looking at the face of the man that appeared before us, I realised the idiotic misunderstanding I had made.

The man that had appeared in front of us wasnot a man. The person that had appeared was. A woman. Not to mention, all five of them.

Yes, they were most likely not Roslias lackeys. Rather, the opposite. They were trying to defeat Roslia. In fact, they were currently holding weapons. Pointed towards Roslia.

My mistake was that when I detected their presences in the pub, I had assumed they were the admirers Jin had mentioned, looking out for her.

Enemy Search was capable of detecting the strength of an enemy, but couldnt determine their gender.

Roslia, how about you come with us for a bit

The woman at the front approached with the weapon out. The other four people surrounding us did the same.

Roslia hid behind my shoulder in fear.

Im scared Note

Even if you said that

Sorry, but I cant help I dont have any battle abilities, theres no way I can win against these people

Having determined the opponents strength with Enemy Search, I raised both hands and stated this clearly.

Then, I pushed Roslia towards the women.

Eh how could you forsake a weak girl like me like this?!

Theres nothing to forsake since this situation is your own doing, right? Because Roslia was flirting with all kinds of men, these people are holding a grudge or something

Caught by the unexpected situation, Roslia returned to her true self.

So that was an act after all

Well, thats true, but

The women replied while slightly backing away from my cold treatment

Wasnt it strange for them to back away from me?! I was the one on their side!

Our group of thieves was destroyed by that woman. That woman seduced the men, and our group collapsed from the inside.

My condolences.

I showed them my lack of hostility through letting out some words of sympathy.

In reality, Force would return if Roslia wasnt here, so I had a feeling that handing Roslia over to these women would solve everything.

Also, I valued my own life.

So we decided to form a group of thieves with only women. Without letting any shitty men in

That certainly seems like the right way to have less conflict

However! You, who abandoned a woman just to protect yourself! Youre even shittier than the men who were seduced by Roslia! Youre an enemy to all women! We were going to let you go at first, but not anymore! Were taking you with that woman!

Seriously? I made the wrong choice

Just how unlucky could I be

Though it looked like I got what I deserved

The woman in front grabbed me in a flash. Her speed was so fast, I wasnt able to resist at all with my lack of power.

She grabbed my arms and attempted to handcuff them.

This was very bad. I just needed 1 secondno, 0.5 seconds was enough

Ah, Jin! I yelled, and the women whirled around to look.

However, there was no one there

Its a bluff!

The woman who grabbed me whacked the back of my head with the hilt of her sword. I felt my consciousness sinking away.
